I'm surprised I'm not dead yet

Again, I experienced a tightness in my left shoulder, armpit. It's not like a heart attack--I've read the descriptions--but more like a stroke. A small stroke. I didn't feel weird other than the tightening around the area and the scared feeling I get--the sudden rush of heat throughout my body when I begin to panic. After more research, it can also be caused by stress and anxiety. Cholesterol comes to mind, but last year, when I got my blood work done, I came out way below the average level. Doctor told me that I might be able to get it up, but I should at least try--apparently not only does high cholesterol cause--ahem--"man problems," but so does low cholesterol. I guess I must suck up pride and call my father to see if he can spot me money for a doctor's appointment. I need to check my blood and see if I'm dying.
